Graipfrut

STAR RUBY Dark red color is characteristic of this variety, even when grown in cooler coastal regions. Crop heavy in spring, stores well on the tree. Both skin and flesh are red. It is less vigorous than other varieties, grows slowly and the tree and fruit remain smaller than other grapefruit types.

However, in suitable conditions the tree produces attractive red blushed fruit. The flesh and juice are strongly pigmented, up to three times more colourful than 'Ruby Red', and have a bit more sugar and acid. The fruit is low-seeded or seedless and has a very good flavour. Juice content 43% at maturity.

HENDERSON RUBY While it looks like Star Ruby, we can say that Henderson is more productive and it is more suitable to the ecology. Some of the best trees can produce 250 seedless fruits a year. Henderson requires effective irrigation but tolerates high temperatures well. Its harvesting time is earlier than Marsh Seedless and Ruby. The difference of Henderson Ruby is the juice of fruit is more colorful than the others.
